Dirwulf, no, that's not really the case when you say "no custom heroes." It sounds like you havent actually used the beta?

I can load a saved game and use my heroes as before: however offline I just wont access to a couple of perks (like a spell, etc) that frankly don't matter much in actually playing the game. If anything the perks are mild cheats to playing the game. Dont need them.

I wish the game didnt have this online component at all, but it didnt affect my amusement with the game and I happily played it offline.

The doohickies you get the "deluxe" edition are the usual non-essential doohickies.

The core game is hugely like Heroes V: if you liked Heroes V you'll like this game.
